Author's Note:Ok, I'm finally adding a chapter to this. Sorry to you all, I've been busy. Well I hope you like what I got! Chapter 2......      Serena was reeling from what she had just heard Esmaraude say, but she was confident Raye would put her in her place. Just as she waited for her to tell Esmaraude off, Raye bowed to her."Good afternoon. His majesty awaits your-"she stopped in mid-sentence, spotting a young woman with blonde hair and two familiar meatballs standing some feet away."Oh my God......Serena....."      "What?"Esmaraude frowned at her, then turned to look at the young woman she was staring at, confused.      Raye snatched out her communicator, switching it on."Amy, Lita, Mina, get out here quick and Amy, get Darien! Mina, you contact the outer senshi and tell them to hurry here!"she cut off the connection, moving past Esmaraude and toward Serena.      "Whats going on?"Esmaraude snapped after her.      Serena didn't notice Raye until she was directly in front of her."Raye, whats going on? Why is she here? And why is she calling my Darien hers?!"she said, hands on hips.      Raye's eyes were wide with surprise, her body still."Serena.....oh my God, is that really you?"      "Of course its me, who else would it be? Where's Darien? Raye, whats going on?"she glared at Esmaraude, her eyes narrowing.      Esmaraude was opening her mouth to snap at her when she heard Dimando's voice in her mind, telling her not too. He was curious about this girl.....there was something about her. To keep calm and not let her anger get the best of her.      Just then the Inner Senshi all came running out of the palace followed by a tall, gorgeous, much older looking Darien. They all froze in there tracks when they saw Serena, there mouths opening wide, identical looks of astonishment on each of there faces.      Serena didn't stop to think on this, too overjoyed at seeing Darien again."Darien!!"sh cried, running forward, going straight to him and throwing herself into his arms."Darien, I missed you!"she hugged him with all her might, then suddenly pulled away."Wait a minute, whats going on here? What is she doing here?"she pointed at Esmaraude.      The looks of astonishment didn't fade from there faces, instead each one of them seemed to move closer to her, to study her more closely."Serena...."Darien whispered, his voice full of wonder and confusion.      "This is impossible."Lita whispered, her eyes suspicious."She can't be Serena......its not possible!"      "This is a trick, isn't it? Someone.....someone's playing a joke on us."Mina said softly.      "A trick? What the hell is that supposed to mean? I'm....I'm ME! I'm Serena! Its me guys!"she stopped when none of there looks changed."Well....where's the future me? The Queen? Let me see her and we'll straighten this out. Stop looking at me like that guys! You all act like....like I'm dead or something."      The Outer Senshi came then, halting whatever any of them had been about to say. They all stopped at the sight of her also, the same looks of astonishment crossing there features except Trista.      "What the hell......?"Amara whispered, her eyes moving up and down Serena in shock.      "Everyone calm down."Trista said, her soft voice strong, her warm eyes on Serena."I think its time to explain to all of you what I always knew would happen."      "What?!"the group screeched at her.      They all went into the palace and sat through Trista's story of other worlds existing out there, other worlds where the out come of things was always different. Serena had been from a world where peace now reigned and the future was a bright thing to look forward too. Trista then explained to a confused Serena that in this world she was dead and had been for many years now.      Serena sat dazed, shocked at everything she had just heard."I'm dead here? But how?"      "It happened 10 years ago when you were just fourteen, still a child. You had just defeated Beryl and come out of itn barely. Everything was peaceful, but Galaxia showed up and challenged you to a fight. She wanted to see if you could stand a chance against her. If you refused to fight she would destroy Earth, so of course you accepted."Trista studied her expression."You fought, but it was obvious she was stronger and she was beating you badly. You were severely wounded, but you kept on."      "You used the crystal to blind her for a moment and took advantage of that and took her sword from her."Darien continued, his eyed distant and full of pain as he remembered that day."You stabbed her in the stomache and killed her with her won weapon.....we thought that was the end....that everything would be alright after. But you.....you were hurt....worse then we had thought.....it was a miracle you had stayed alive that long....."      'Darien.....I'm dying.....'she had whispered as she lay in his arms, her eyes sad, yet accepting of her fate.'But I'm happy that all of you will live......'      'No Serena, your not gonna die! Do you hear me? Your going to live! Remember, I promised you that movie with ice cream tomorrow?'he was crying, the sight of her covered in blood more then he could bare.      'No, there's no tomorrow for me. Take care of each other please.....don't ever lose hope......'she paused to swallow in pain, her eyes shut tight. And after a moment her body began to relax, the hand that was gripping him going limp.'I love you.....Darien.....'     "No!"Serena's voice brought him back to the present."No, thats not how it happens! Galaxia doesn't come for another two years after Beryl! And I don't kill her, I heal her! I make her better, I help her!"she said desperately."Thats impossible, I live! I live and we build Crystal Tokyo together!"      "Please calm down, your majesty."Trista said soothingly."This is a different world from yours. Here, things don't turn out the way they did with you."      "Why am I here? How did I get here? I was on my way to be with Darien and I ended up here! How?!"when Trista touched her arm, she calmed somewhat, breathing slowly."I don't understand."      "Neither do we, but you have to be here for a reason. Don't you see? This was planned, I know the Trista in your time must have known about this also. But she didn't stop you from boarding that plane because she knew as I do that you were brought here for a reason."Trista explained."Serena, we need you. After your death nothing was the same."      "But....Darien still built this.....Crystal Tokyo, on his own. He-he didn't need me."she said softly, then horror crossed her features at a thought."I have to go home! I belong in my own world! I can't stay here, I have to go back or Rene will never be born!"      "Rene?"the Senshi and Darien all said in confusion."Who's Rene?"      "The daughter Darien and I are supposed to have."she said, watching as there eyes all widened.      Esmaraude had stood by during all this silently, listening carefully and trying to figure out what this woman, this Serena, meant to them. Obviously she was powerful because from what they said she had destroyed Galaxia and Beryl, both women that Esmaraude had heard of, but never actually met. But when they mentioned a daughter she and her betrothed were supposed to have, that was when she stepped forward, anger coursing through her.      "Endymion is my betrothed, not hers! And I won't have you speaking of all this when I'm right here to listen! Your deliberately doing this to insult me!!"she said angrily, her eyes cutting over to Serena."You have no claim over him, he belongs to me!"      "Esmaruade, I think you should leave. We have much to discuss."Darien said softly, but firmly.      She opened her mouth to protest, but Dimando told her to listen, that they would find out who this woman was in due time. She retreated then, anger and hate for the mysterious young girl already building inside her. Stay tuned for Chapter 3!
